With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdomen) back in action, Joe has come off the bench in the Thunder's last two games. While that reduces his fantasy appeal in most formats, he remains a player worth keeping close tabs on due to his ability to get hot at any minute. Joe has scored in double digits in eight of his last 10 appearances, averaging 15.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game over that stretch.

Joe drew a third straight start but had struggled over the first two quarters of the contests, netting just three points (1-5 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 14 minutes. With Joe out for the second half, the Thunder could lean more heavily on Jared McCain and Nikola Topic alongside Cason Wallace for the rest of the night.

It's the second time in the last three games that Joe has topped 20 points, but both those performances came with the second unit, while he managed just two points in a spot start Wednesday against the Spurs. That was also the only time in the last seven contests that Joe has failed to drain multiple three-pointers, a stretch in which he's averaging 12.4 points, 2.9 threes, 2.4 boards, 1.9 assists and 1.3 steals in 26.1 minutes.

Joe provided 22 points (8-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and one steal in 23 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 128-92 victory over Orlando.

Rotowire
Joe totaled 17 points (6-11 FG, 5-10 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists in 24 minutes during Tuesday's 104-95 victory over New Orleans.
This was a strong line for Joe, but he continues to be a hit-or-miss fantasy asset off the Oklahoma City bench. Over his last seven outings, he's averaging 9.9 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 2.3 three-pointers. He may see a short-term boost in value, however, as Jalen Williams (hamstring) and Ajay Mitchell (abdominals) are currently sidelined.

Thunder's Isaiah Joe: Drops 16 points in rout
Rotowire
Joe chipped in 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 25 minutes off the bench during Monday's 136-104 win over the Cavaliers.
The 26-year-old guard saw plenty of extra run in the big win, with the 25 minutes being his biggest workload since Nov. 17. Joe took advantage of the court time to score in double digits for just the second time in 10 January games, although he's drained multiple three-pointers in each of the last five. However, without a more consistent role, Joe's fantasy value is mainly limited to being a DFS dart throw.

Thunder's Isaiah Joe: Modest production continues
Rotowire
Joe finished with five points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and one rebound in 10 minutes during Wednesday's 129-125 overtime win over Utah.
Joe scored just five points in the loss, having exceeded that amount only once in the past eight games. While he does provide the Thunder with a proven perimeter threat, the fact that the team is so loaded with talent makes him somewhat redundant from time to time. At best, he should be viewed as a potential three-point streaming option.
